Discuss proposed revisions to the Planned Unit Development Discussion is usually kept between the Council, Board Members and Staff. However, should someone from the public language of the Land Development Regulations section of the code want to address the issue or provide input, the Mayor will recognize them. He asked that everyone refrain from book continued. individual discussions. Planning Board Members present were: Chairperson Ledferd, Vice Chairperson Hoover, and Members Maxwell, McCoy, Jones, Keller and O'Connor. City Planning Consultant, Mr. Bill Brisson (of LaRue Planning and Management Services) began the discussion by reviewing the materials distributed earlier in the day to the Mayor, Council and Board Members. The Planning Board reviewed the first draft of regulations at their March 22, 2007 meeting, from that discussion, additional changes were made. Currently PUD regulations are outlined in Sections 90-401 through 406. They explain that provision is made for PUD zoning districts in which diverse residential, commercial, institutional or recreation uses may be brought together under a unified plan of development which is in the interest and general welfare of the public. PUD zoning districts shall be permitted only on land designated as future land use categories single-family or multi -family in the comprehensive plan. A conceptional site plan of the proposed development shall be submitted and approved prior to a change in zoning to either a single family or a multi -family residential PUD zoning district. There are 26 permitted uses in the PUD zoning district. The only special exception use is for permitted uses in excess of 45 feet in height. Each PUD has to be a minimum of five acres. The maximum density are laid out based on the type of residential and type of housing. The minimum lot area and yard requirements are noted "as appropriate to the use." Maximum lot coverage is 40 percent, maximum impervious surface is 60 percent. The purpose for a PUD is to allow flexibility in developing parcels of land, not just flexibility in density regulations. It allows environmentally sensitive land to be developed that under normal regulations could not be. Allows subdivision's to have something different from one another. It usually, created right, will give a better product to the community than developing it under regular regulations or leaving it undeveloped. The proposed ordinance creates two separate PUD's, one being a "Mixed -Use" PUD. the other a "Residential" PUD. Mr. Brisson then went on to explain each separate PUD and how it compares to the existing regulations. He also presented a comparison of a project that would be developed using the City's existing RSF-2 zoning district regulations and the proposed PUD-R regulations. The Council and Planning Board agreed more time to review the ordinance was needed since the latest proposed changes were just emailed to everyone earlier in the day. The Council asked the Planning Board to go back and review the changes again. 746 APRIO, 2007 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 3 OF 8 V. ADJOURN WORKSHOP AND RECONVENE IN REGULAR SESSION - Mayor. VI.

NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. A. Discussion and presentation of the Public Safety Complex The complex idea and functions were explained through a power point presentation, virtual video and packets continued. containing a letter from Dr. Massey noting the need and purpose of the complex, a site plan, and various funding programs to assist with the project including a Brick Program and Tree Walk. IRCC has taken the vision to createa'an outstanding facility for education in coordinated response to all types of emergencies to enable the best training possible for public safety personnel of the four -county region they serve. The four counties are Indian River, St. Lucie, Okeechobee and Martin. The complex will combine criminal justice, fire science and forensics in one place, creating a unique and innovative educational environment and a national model for public service and disaster relief training. The 110,000 square foot multi -building complex to be constructed at IRCC's main campus in Ft. Pierce will feature a tactical village for enactment of robberies, assaults and other crimes; Incident Command Center; Telecommunication Lab; Vehicle Operation Training Facilities; Indoor Firing Range and Lab; Fire Station and Training Center; Six -story Fire Science Training Tower Repelling Tower Live Burning Training Simulator; Mock Court Room; and a Regional Crime Lab. The costs estimate to construct the entire complex is $38.4 million. $24.4 million will be provided from State Funds. $5 million have been donated from private funds. The college contribution fund is $1 million, in addition to the $5 million for the land and $1.2 million for the driving range. IRCC has requested an additional $3 million from the State. The amount needed to complete the complex is $5 million. A formula based on the number of fire fighter and police officer employees' for each city and county within the four counties was created, resulting in the amount the college is requesting from the City. The Mayor and Council thanked Dr. Massey for his presentation, noting what an undertaking the complex will be and that it would greatly benefit all the communities. They asked what type of time frame would the funds need to be available and whether it could be given over a few years? Dr. Massey responded that it will take 18 months to build, the commitment of the funds needs to be made by February 1, 2008 and it can be given over two years. The Mayor and Council instructed Administrator Whitehall to add the $27,262.81 to the list of items to be addressed during the 2007/08 Fiscal Year Budget Process. B. Discussion regarding Main Street's acquisition of CSX Railroad Administrator Whitehall explained to the Mayor and Council that the City has been approached by Okeechobee Main building - City Administrator. Street to work with them in acquiring ownership of the Historic CSX Railroad Building (Train Station/Depot) located at the North Parrott Avenue railroad crossing. The building has been deteriorating for years. The plans are to restore the building into a historical feature for the City. APRIL 3, 2007 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 6 OF 8 � �J X. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. B. Discussion regarding Main Street's acquisition of CSX Railroad building continued. At this point and time the administrator is not looking for a complete approval on the project from the Council, only a "green light" to proceed with the project. CSX has made it clear that they will not sell or donate the building to anyone except the City (or local governing body), creating the reason the City has to be involved. There are several unanswered questions regarding the project and the only way to proceed is for the City to initiate meetings with CSX representatives. The Mayor and Council instructed the administrator to initiate meetings with CSX for acquirina the historic train building (depot). C. Discussion regarding the Code Enforcement Magistrate Process - At the March 6, 2007 City Council Meeting Attorney Cook and Administrator Whitehall introduced the concept to City Administrator. change the Code Enforcement process from a Code Board to a Magistrate. They were instructed to inform the Code Board at their March 13, 2007 meeting what the Council was considering, gather their comments and report back to the Council. The March 13, 2007 Code Enforcement Board Meeting minutes reflect the following discussion regarding this topic: Member Sweda felt much more investigation should be done before a decision was made. She suggested having the administrative staff do a spread sheet for a comparison of the different cities in Florida. She recommended to the board members they attend the City Council meeting to voice their opinion. Member Irby agreed board members should attend the City Council meeting or speak to the Administrator to share their thoughts. Mr. Irby said he could see the magistrate process working. Member Gamiotea felt strongly that going to a magistrate process would be taking control away from the people. He stated his purpose for being a board member was to assure that every individual was represented fairly. He felt this process would give control to an Attorney who would not take into consideration extenuating circumstances. Alternate Member Hancock thought there was a definite need for more consistency in code enforcement decisions, although she agreed going to a magistrate could remove the human element. Alternate Member Revels said her main concern was that people who are financially or in other ways at a disadvantage could be put in a hardship situation with the enforcement of strict fines. Member Castorina mentioned that property owners who live out of town could find it difficult to physically appear before a magistrate for their case to be heard. Chairperson Worley stated he appreciated the opportunity to work for the betterment of the City as a member of the code board. However, he recognizes a need for more forceful code enforcement measures and supported a magistrate process should it be able to achieve that purpose. 750 APRIL 3, 2007 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 7 OF 8 X. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. C. Discussion regarding the Code Enforcement Magistrate Process continued. D. Discussion regarding excavation and sale of excavated material for the South Lakes in the Commerce Center - City Administrator. The Council discussed the pro's and con's of changing the process. Code Board Members Jamie Gamiotea and Frank Irby were present and presented their views on the change. Mr. Gamiotea asked the Council, is the current procedures broke? If they are, can the Board have an opportunity to fix them? If they are not, why do we need to fix something that is not broke? Mr. Irby noted the Code Enforcement Officers do a good job, increasing their hours was the best step forward the City has taken since he has served on the Code Board. Council Member C. Williams was clearly supporting the change to magistrate. Council Members Markham and Watford did not see the change as a better solution to code enforcement and did not want the change. Council Member L. Williams appreciated that Mr. Gamiotea took the initiative to meet with Chief Smith to find out what type of problems there are that would cause staff to want a change in the violation process. She supported the idea of a workshop with the Code Board and staff in order to work out the different views and procedures. However, should the majority of the Council decide to change to the magistrate process she would agree. Council Member C. Williams made a motion to establish a magistrate to process the Code Enforcement Issues. Mayor Kirk called for a second three times. Motion died for lack of second. Mayor Kirk finalized the discussion by stating the majority of the Council wants to stay with the current Code Board process. The City Staff and Code Board have very difficult tasks, and they do a very good job for the City. His conclusion was, should the code enforcement process change, it should be a unanimous Council decision, not a split vote. He also suggested that Chef Smith initiate the workshop with the Code Board, re-evaluate the situation after six months, should the same issues remain, he can bring the matter back to the Council for consideration again. Administrator Whitehall reported that the construction of the North Lakes has resulted in the City having approximately 25,000 cubic yards of fill dirt. The two newest Commerce Center owners have expressed an interest in purchasing it. Mr. Michael Holmes (Holmes Cabinets) could purchase 6,000 to 10,000 cubic feet and Mr. Travis Chambers (Adron Fence/TRC Investments) has requested 10,000 to 20,000 cubic yards. Mr. Whitehall requested authorization to sell the fill. Council Member Watford moved to sell approximately 7,000 cubic yards of fill to Holmes Cabinet (owner of Lot 17) and approximately 15,000 cubic yards to TRC Investments (owner of Lots 18-20) at two dollars ( 2.00 per cubit yard; seconded by Council Member C. Williams. There was no further discussion on this item. APRIL�3, 2007 - REGULAR MEETING - PAGE 8 OF 8 751 X. NEW BUSINESS CONTINUED. VOTE D.

In the short period of time available, we have not been able to prepare sample site plans showing what could be done under the current conventional regulations compared to the proposed PUD regulations in time to get them to you before the meeting. We will, however, bring with us to the meeting some illustrations we believe will be helpful. Attached is the proposed draft ordinance revised in consideration of the input we received during the last meeting. We would like to draw your attention to the sections beginning on page four which relate to the new PUD-R residential planned unit development. While there are some formatting and editorial changes, the following briefly describes the substantive changes we have incorporated since our last meeting. Page 5, Section 90-423, (4): The maximum allowable building dimension has been increased from 150 feet to 160 feet. This is in recognition of a fairly standard townhouse module 20 feet in width. There is presently no specific limitation on building dimensions. 2. Page 5, Section 90-423, (5): The minimum perimeter setback has been changed from 20 feet to one-half of the height of the structure or 20 feet, whichever is greater. SARASOTA OFFICE: 2427 Porter Lake Dr. Unit 110, Sarasota, Florida 34240 Ph. (941) 378-1487 Fax (941) 342-0563 Cell (941) 228-1499 --- e-mail: bill@larue-planning.com 3. Page 5, Section 90-423, (6): The minimum separation between buildings has been changed from the one-half of the average height of the structures to one-half of the height of the taller structure or 15 feet, whichever is greater. In the conventional zoning districts, the side yard for single-family/duplex structures is 10 feet (20 feet between buildings). For zero lot line single-family a 15-foot side yard is required on one side. For multi -family structures the side yard is 20 feet (40 feet between buildings). Section 90-450 requires that multiple buildings on the same lot be separated as if they were separate lots. This means 20 feet for single-family homes (15 feet for zero lot line single-family) and 40 feet for multi -family buildings. 4. Page 5, Section 90-423, (8): The minimum open space requirement is now proposed to be 40% whereas in the first draft of the PUD regulations, it was 35%. However, the require- ment for usable open space has been removed. In order to ensure open space is provided in a manner that enhances the overall living environment in a practical manner, in order to count towards the minimum requirement, the extent to which water areas and dry retention areas are counted is limited and areas must be at least 10 feet in width and comprise at least 200 square feet. This ensures that narrow landscape strips and small landscape islands in parking lots do not count towards meeting the minimum open space requirement. Finally, the extent that impervious recrea- tion areas may count towards the minimum opens space requirement is limited to avoid too much hard surface in open space areas. 5. Page 6, Section 90-423, (9): The requirement for improved recreation/play areas has been expanded to include single-family/zero lot line and duplex developments that are built on lots smaller than 6,250 square feet or at a density greater than seven units per acre. 2 ORDINANCE NO.

Realizing this responsibility, Indian River Community College envisioned a public safety and homeland security training complex that would be unlike any other. This vision included a three tiered approach to safety and security training that would result in more knowledgeable first responders and prepared citizens. As the project developed, input from your local agencies was key to ensuring that the facilities and training programs would be developed and enhanced according to your needs. This partnership has been vital and is one of the most successful to date. The programs, facilities and training services that will be provided have been vetted and endorsed by numerous state, national and international public safety and homeland security experts. The concept and input phase has now moved to design and construction. Rising construction costs, agency needs, and the goal to create a world - class complex have resulted in a total complex cost that's higher than first expected. Through the Every Citizen Counts capital campaign, IRCC has successfully raised more than $2.5M in private funds from local individuals, and law enforcement agencies including $89,000 from the Indian River, St. Lucie and Martin police and sheriff's offices. In addition, IRCC has received more than $25M in state appropriations. However, projected costs to complete this complex now exceed $37M. IRCC 3209 VIRGINIA AVENUE FORT PIERCE, FLORIDA 34981-5596 continues to work on attaining additional state and federal funds, but now looks to our city and county municipalities to shore up the final fiscal needs. Using a formula based on total number of law enforcement officers, IRCC has determined a per municipality amount that would assist us in constructing this world -class complex in its entirety. The request for your municipality is $27,262.81 and will be matched dollar -for -dollar through the State of Florida Facilities Enhancement Challenge Grant program when made payable to the IRCC Foundation. Please consider how you can help IRCC meet this financial need and establish a center of excellence in public safety that will become a national model, a local resource and a magnet for economic development throughout our region.
